Piano di Kotak Kaca (Piano in A Glass Box) by Agnes Jessica (2007)

Reviews :

Sheila's face turned gloomy. Dad would say that was because of me, a murderer's child, aren't I? I have a cruel nature in me, ha! Me, that's why i always have issues. You really want to involve emotionally to other people. Just make it simple, you're sensitive and care for others. But people who have this natures has a weakness. What is the weakness? If others are less care that she is, she will hate that person. A miniature of piano is the last gift to Sheila from her mom. Her mom was killed by her own father and has been barred. Sheila is alone, without parents love in her early age. Helps from her father's relatives led to another bitterness. Sheila was forced to be a maid in her new home and several times mentally tortured. Her strong nature makes it worse, they think that's the result of having father as a murderer. Sheila is afraid of her labile emotions so that it will hurt others who hurt her pride. The only person who can sincerely help her is Bram, a "limp" who has a lot of bitterness because of his physical condition. Would their relationship revive Sheila's soul that has been hurt and misses her mom?

Comment :

I could feel that Agnes Jessica emotionally involved in the story. The dramatic scenes were really really sad. I almost cried in some scenes. And I really really like the romantic scenes. Bram and Sheila's desires to love each other were so big, even I (uninvolved person) in that story could feel it, yes, i could feel their passions. However, I felt that the story was forced, that it had to be a good ending, so it was like to be stirred into that plot. And, I could imagine that the story would be like soap opera stories. That the antagonist turned into good people, and tried to redeem it best that they could.
